I would be somewhat worried about the engine stalling and the no oil pressure light.
At the shop I work at we had am 04 Screw 5.4 come in last week with a No Start. The owner said he drove it about a mile and it died and wouldn't restart. We look at it and the engine is seized. Coolant was in the oil as well. This truck had less than 100K miles, had been serviced regularly according to the owner (no docs though) and the owner is the son of a famous Nascar Family.
We don't know the exact part that failed other than the engine cannot be moved with a three foot breaker bar and yes the drive belt was taken off. Coolant in the oil suggest head gasket failure. But customer claims he only drove it a mile from the house when it seized.
Long story short, he's getting a long block
